Next generation smart wearables leverage better technology, they support high quality data gathering in the specific sport or activity in which they are being used. Devices are highly targeted to specific situations.

The wearables technology is evolving: better data gathering, better reliability, better navigation, better ability, better analytics to turn data into information are provided. Wearables are useful for measuring the effect of different activities on performance. Devices are useful for measuring different levels of personal effort, swing a bat, running a mile, carrying a football, enduring a hit to the head. Affordable, useful wrist wearables are available with a increasing number of data collection functions. The study has 565 pages and 228 tables and figures.

In sports and fitness technology, it is not about what data can be shown, it is how meaningful the data is in terms of improving athletic performance or managing overall personal fitness. Wearables have become fitness and sports personal devices. They bring big data, enough data that it can be turned into actionable information.

Devices are being used by athletes and coaches to make team members better players. Fitness devices are being used to increase the levels and qualities of exercise.
